That is not to say that she was without fault.
In 2008, she supported Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama, which someone is allowed to do that for sure.
But she wrote this op-ed in The New York Times that I think came off as a little tone deaf.
She spoke about how she felt like Barack Obama was allowed to talk about civil rights clashes within the movement, but Hillary Clinton wasn't allowed to talk about the old boys club.
And so sometimes I do think she was not really able to.
understand and hold intersectionality within her work.
Hillary's husband, yes.
So as people might recall, Bill Clinton had some issues in the White House, namely that he had an affair with an intern, Monica Lewinsky.
News of that broke in 1998.
In that year, Gloria Steinem wrote an op-ed where she backed Bill.
She basically said that there is no evidence that Monica Lewinsky didn't want this, that Bill Clinton is not guilty of sexual harassment, and that kind of, y'all, we should move on.
Gloria Steinem later said, you know, once the Me Too movement broke out, that she would probably address that situation differently now, given the power imbalance between the president and a 20-something intern.
But I do think one of the things that really strikes me in rereading that op-ed is thinking about how this is a perpetual debate within feminism, which is how do we think about positive and negative rights?
Should feminists be prioritizing people's right to be free from sexual predation?
Should feminists be prioritizing people's rights to sexual freedom?
And
think in that case, Gloria Steinem was trying to really emphasize the latter.
No,
It does not age well.
